LE [REQ] Vanilla Sleeping in Requiem

[stipes79]

Hello,

 

Starting out with Requiem and loving it so far. One thing I really want is for sleep to allow me to heal like in vanilla Skyrim. I like the difficulty, but the lack of any health regen is a bit much for me. I am aware of the healing poultice option, but have not created one yet. My understanding is that it is a one-time use item, correct?

 

Either way, if anyone is able to bust out a quick mod that allows my character to heal from sleep (perhaps only if I sleep a minimum of 8 hours or some such limitation), it would be GREATLY appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Hi! if i was you, i'd try finding another mod which modifies sleep behavior, (there's bound to be one out there) and place it after requiem in your load order. all i can think of other than that, is actually editing the mod itself, and requiem for me has always been a delicate dance between CTD, ILS, and epic gameplay. Goodluck.

Thanks for the suggestion lorax. Definitely not gonna modify requiem myself, but I'll take a look at some other sleep mods out there. That being said, I had a few more thoughts on this idea and I really think it has some legs.

 

I love how in Requiem you truly start small and become powerful over time due to the unleveled enemies, etc. However, I'm still on level 1 and have basically just been chopping firewood and hunting small game to make a little money (side note - is it normal to only get 1/2 gold per piece of firewood at level 1, i.e., 30 gold for 60 firewood?!). I ventured out and fought a couple wolves and barely escaped with my life. Now I am forced to listen to my incessant about-to-die heartbeat sound constantly. I don't have enough money for a healing potion, I haven't found the recipe for a healing poultice, and attempts to sleep for many hours did not heal me one bit. So, in the interest of taking the sting/grind out of the very early levels, here is my more fleshed-out idea:

 

The mod would simply heal the requiem character 10 HP per hour of sleep, up to a maximum of 120 HP (12 hours sleep) per day. This would allow super low level characters another avenue to heal themselves, but would not be something that could be relied on past level 10 or so. So, as a lowly scrub scrounging for some coin and crappy gear, I can at least go out and pick a reasonably winnable fight, then hunker down and sleep for the night and wake up healthy. But, as I start to level up, sleeping 12 hours for 120 HP just isn't really viable - you'd still have to rely on Requiem's built-in healing methods.

 

If anyone is willing/able to do this, I think it would be pretty sweet and wouldn't ultimately disrupt the overall flavor of Requiem. I work all day to scrounge up some money in this thing called real life... I love me some immersion, but I also want to balance it with a little more fun and I think this would do the trick.
